Showing that a Terrorist is nothing more than a Terrorist, and not a freedom fighter, does tend to expose and hose their agenda, plus dry up their donations.

BTW: $5 US bounty or $5M bounty???

#2 Up to US$ 5 million, NN2N1.

From Rewards For Justice:

Rewards for Justice is offering a reward of up to $5 million for information on Mahad Karate, also known as Abdirahman Mohamed Warsame. Karate serves as al-Shabaab’s shadow deputy leader. Karate has some command responsibility over the Amniyat, al-Shabaab’s intelligence and security wing, as well as the group’s finances.

The Amniyat plays a key role in the execution of suicide attacks and assassinations in Somalia, Kenya and other countries in the region, and provides logistical support for al-Shabaab’s terrorist activities. The Amniyat was responsible for the April 2015 attack on Garissa University College in Kenya that killed nearly 150 people, mostly students.

On April 10, 2015, the U.S. Department of State designated Karate as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist pursuant to Executive Order 13224, as amended. As a result of this designation, among other consequences, all property, and interests in property, of Karate that are subject to U.S. jurisdiction are blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in any transactions with Karate. In addition, it is a crime to knowingly provide, or attempt or conspire to provide, material support or resources to al-Shabaab, a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization.

I asked because the Article stated

"The US had placed a $5 bounty on Karate, which is yet to be located by authorities in Somalia."

#4 Doesn't matter if it is $5 or $ million, The US won't pay it. Just ask the guy who gave up Bin Ladens location.

#5 Yeah, LOL. The US doesn't pay rewards. They have an entire staff of lawyers ready to go. They can always find a "legitimate" reason they don't have to pay.
